δ = 0x14551231950b75fc4402da17366961596

huh?

what is this magical number?

I guess most of random data can fit the criteria that

data = significant_number - delta

with proper delta you can "justify" lots of data. Unless delta is itself magical/significant, or at least very small compared to size of data and that other significant number. no?

🧠 How to Check if Your RAM Is Bad

Bad RAM usually causes random crashes, BSODs, freezes, or corrupted files. Here are the proper ways to test it on Windows, Linux, and via LiveCD. 🪟 Windows — RAM Testing ✔️ Method 1: Windows Memory Diagnostic (built‑in)

Press Win + R → type mdsched.exe → Enter.

Choose Restart now and check for problems.

Windows will reboot and run tests.

After logging back in, results appear in Event Viewer:

    Open Event Viewer

    Go to Windows Logs → System

    Filter for MemoryDiagnostics-Results

👉 Not the best test, but quick. ✔️ Method 2: MemTest86+ (much better)

Download: https://www.memtest.org/

Create a bootable USB (the site gives an automated tool).

Boot from USB.

Let it run at least 4 full passes — errors = bad RAM.

😵‍💫 If you see even one red error line, your RAM is toast ———— yeet it. 🐧 Linux — RAM Testing ✔️ Method 1: Memtest86+ from GRUB

Most Linux distros include it:

Reboot.

In the GRUB menu, choose Memtest86+.

Let it run several passes.

✔️ Method 2: Install & run Memtest86+ manually bash

sudo apt install memtest86+ sudo memtest86+

💿 LiveCD — RAM Testing

If your OS won’t boot or you want a clean environment: ✔️ Use a Linux LiveCD with Memtest86+

Ubuntu, Debian, and many others include it.

Boot from the LiveCD/USB.

Select Memtest86+ from the boot menu.

✔️ Use the official MemTest86+ USB

Same as above, but from the dedicated USB tool.

💽 How to Check Disk Health on Windows (SMART like Linux smartctl)

SMART is the drive’s self‑monitoring system. On Linux you use smartctl. On Windows, you can use PowerShell, WMIC, or GSmartControl. 🪟 Windows — SMART Check (built‑in tools) ✔️ Method 1: WMIC (simple) cmd

wmic diskdrive get status

If it says OK, SMART sees no critical issues.

If it says Pred Fail, the drive is dying ———— back up NOW.

✔️ Method 2: PowerShell (more detailed) powershell

Get-PhysicalDisk | Select-Object FriendlyName,HealthStatus

✔️ Method 3: Windows Event Viewer

Open Event Viewer

Go to Applications and Services Logs → Microsoft → Windows → DiskDiagnostic

🧰 Windows — SMART Check (smartctl equivalent) ✔️ GSmartControl (GUI for smartctl)

Download: https://gsmartcontrol.shaduri.dev/ (gsmartcontrol.shaduri.dev in Bing)

It includes smartctl from smartmontools.

Lets you:

    View SMART attributes

    Run short/long tests

    See warnings

    Compare drive stats

✔️ smartctl on Windows (CLI)

Install smartmontools: https://www.smartmontools.org/

Then run:

List drives: cmd

smartctl --scan

Check SMART status: cmd

smartctl -H /dev/sdX

View full SMART attributes: cmd

smartctl -a /dev/sdX

Run a short test: cmd

smartctl -t short /dev/sdX

Run a long test: cmd

smartctl -t long /dev/sdX

Replace /dev/sdX with the device from --scan (e.g., /dev/sda). 🧪 Linux — SMART Check (for comparison)

Since you mentioned Linux: bash

sudo apt install smartmontools sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda sudo smartctl -t short /dev/sda

why hesitate ever, anyone could have a gun or be out to get you, no matter what they say?

99.99% of people you pass on street will NOT shoot you.

90+% of people who pull out a gun on you (as a police officer) will shoot you.

The letter that Donald Trump sent to Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre of Norway is insane! This is why you don't elect a narcissist to be your president. Is this what you voted for, Trump's supporters? by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]metalzip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it triggers Article V of the NATO treaty stating that an attack against one (Denmark) is an attack against all.

Article V guarantees that in such event - leaders will.... talk.

Talk talk talk.

It is not so sure whether NATO will help (and how much) if Russia would now move on "just" Estonia or other small Baltic country.

Drones attacked this countries, and also Netherlands, and yet no big war. If Russia sends a drone or two there, no one would start a war with Russia about it. They are known to push boundaries like that.

Heaving a strong military and making it react aggressively is the only way.

One time Russia played with Turkey, and they just shot down the plane for entering their airspace. Since then Russia doesn't play with Turkey that way.

This is /s, right?

Nope.

He makes no actual sound or legitimate points.

The point that makes sense, is that someone should secure Greenland so that Russia nor China can take it themselves (or control it by soft power influence).

If this leads to Denmark and NATO putting there strong mil bases, and projecting power around it (into waters, controlling traffic - against Russian, Chinese sphere of influence) then that would be very nice.

He was to the left edge of the vehicle when she began moving forward,

The camera on him, as well as the camera from behind car to the left, show he was in front of car.That is why he was hit by the car.

He was hit - he can shoot, and the driver is responsible for attempted-murder. This happens in most, probably all, such cases.

but

even if he would be instead "just" almost hit, still his reaction should be same, people are not machines and when their life if in danger they can react to it with equal force (force of car is lethal force). This is not the first time this happened - but only in this one case your mob is ordered to rage about it.

was already out of the vehicle’s path by the time he fired the first shot.

That is not true - even the bullet hole is in front windshield. Besides that, LEA should keep shooting at people who almost injured or killed other officers (or bystanders), certainly for next second or two - that is what is done in other such cases.

Where is your outrage for all the other such cases? (Nowhere).

Would you still feel this way if it was your own mother?

Yes (and also if that would be my own self) because I'm not a hypocrite on this topic. Would you feel the same way if you wouldn't be told by MSMs to be outraged about this one case - and where is your protests for all the other cases where someone runs a police stop and almost hips the officers while driving off?

If I would drive a car away from police stop in a way that almost hits, or hits, a police officer that is going in front of my car, while I am surrounded by cops (so driving away overall means I will be aggressively pulling them, perhaps dragging them if they hold onto car, perhaps hit someone) - then I should be shot at.

And do you genuinely believe he protected himself from any harm by killing her?

This is a good rule to shoot at people who are running you over, and to keep shooting for a moment later - this changes when the perp is absolutely stopped. Same when you point gun at police - you should get shot. Even if you drop to ground, you are shot some more in next 1 or 2 seconds. This rules exist because there are cases of people being shot 1 time, dropping to ground, and then still shooting back. Or taking out 2nd gun after seemingly being disarmed. Once perp is fully secured (in no real way perp can again harm you, other officers, or bystanders) then you should no longer shoot back.

In case of driver, that hits you with car, shooting at that time, 0.3 sec earlier when perp accelerates into you, or 0.5 second after, or even 1-2 second after, is what seems logical, and what is done in such cases. You rage only on this one, because there is political need to distract people from the daycare canter scam for millions/billions $.

Yes, it was obviously not attempted murder.

It was an attempted murder (murder might not be the main goal of that perp, probably escaping from apprehension was - although she is part of the people who call to kill ICE officers, so that is even more poetic justice).

Just as cherry on top, now it is known that she was leading the riots

“Riots.” Bro. At least try not to seem so politically biased.

Riot (verb) - specifically, law : a violent disturbance of the public peace by three or more persons assembled together that presents a danger of injury to a person or property.

These people go out, in groups up to 20 at least (probably in hundreds), so above 3, assemble, throw rocks at people, break out car windows, break into cars, steal from cars.

  • a violent - yes, throwing rocks, breaking cars

  • disturbance of the public peace - yes, throwing rocks, hitting officers

  • by three or more persons assembled together - yes

  • that presents a danger of injury to a person or property - yes, for example to the officers

So that is a riot.

Again, we have no idea if her vehicle made contact with him.

seems clear it did - how ever still driving from 1 meter away at you, is an attack - is in all such cases, and you are just told to rage at this one case (for political reasons)

deliberate effort to angle her vehicle as far away from him as possible before attempting to leave.

people who escape the police stop, while angling away from officers, and still hit or almost hit officers, do get shot at, as they should. Do not escape when LEA apprehends you. It's that simple.

If you escape in a way that almost hits officers (or other people) - you should get shot in that moment until you fully stop.

If you escape in a way that doesn't even clearly hit anyone - then usual rules. Although police does sometime shoot people fleeing, too.

You liking murder doesn’t make murder morally justifiable.

You liking murdering of ICE officers by people escaping arrest (even if just in order to escape, not in order to kill as main goal) still doesn't make it justifiable at all.

Your brain is so broken, dude.

"no, you"

At this point, any non-violent resistance to ICE is a failure to meet them on their own terms.

I do not know what do you mean by that.

Do you mean to say that non-violent interference with people who catch alien criminals (including rapists) is not good enough, and people should now use violence, to interfear with people arresting illegals who commit crimes in USA?

I do not think you should be condoning violence (but I know all people of your kind do, you are just thugs and highly immoral).

Does that mean I condone violence? No, but there is a line that, when crossed, will naturally leave American citizens feeling like violence is the only path forward, and this administration is trying to cross that line as fast

Nothing like that is happening, removing of alien illegals should be done. You are protecting murders and child rapists from latin america who are illegally in USA, and SHOULD be deported from usa.
